So you want your lens to look like an 'L'?

[Garion]

This one looks more realistic...no need to use the cheapskate red rubber band. MO anyone?

Why do I want my lens to look like a big fat white L? I rather want my big white L to look like cheap consumer lens specially when I travel to those out of the way place in China and Vietnam. I dun want to attract attention.

Gaffer it black then

Yup I know...the one on the left is a real "L" leh...135mm f2L if I'm not mistaken.

[szekiat]

problem is shipping that paint back to SG. Since paint and other flammable liquids are not allowed by airmail/air courier or indeed on air travel, it'd have to come by sea!
